The contemporary philosopher Jacques Rancière has become over the last two decades one of the most influential voices in philosophy, political theory, and literary, art historical, and film criticism. His work reexamines the divisions that have defined our understanding of modernity, such as art and politics, representation and abstraction, and literature and philosophy. Working across these divisions, he engages the historical roots of modernism at the end of the eighteenth century, uncovering forgotten texts in the archive that trouble our notions of intellectual history. The contributors to Understanding Rancière, Understanding Modernism engage with the multiplicity of Rancière's thought through close readings of his texts, through comparative readings with other philosophers, and through an engagement with modernist works of art and literature. The final section of the volume includes an extended glossary of the most important terms used by Rancière, which will be a valuable resource for experts and students alike.

Focusing on Stendhal, Gérard de Nerval, George Sand, Émile Zola, and Marcel Proust, The Novel Map: Mapping the Self in Nineteenth-Century French Fiction explores the ways that these writers represent and negotiate the relationship between the self and the world as a function of space in a novel turned map.With the rise of the novel and of autobiography, the literary and cultural contexts of nineteenth-century France reconfigured both the ways literature could represent subjects and the ways subjects related to space. In the first-person works of these authors, maps situate the narrator within the imaginary space of the novel. Yet the time inherent in the text’s narrative unsettles the spatial self drawn by the maps and so creates a novel self, one which is both new and literary. The novel self transcends the rigid confines of a map. In this significant study, Patrick M. Bray charts a new direction in critical theory.

George Sand inscrit la théâtralité au cœur de son œuvre. Elle explore les limites du théâtre et du roman comme elle interroge les frontières de l'être et du paraître. La théâtralisation de l'existence est chez elle l'obstacle à la rencontre sincère entre les êtres autant que le moyen d'inventer de nouvelles relations humaines. Si les travestissements vestimentaires de Sand ont pu évoquer une performance féministe avant l'heure, l'écrivaine a su créer des personnages chargés d'explorer tous les possibles du corps et de la voix, le plus souvent dans la pudeur et l'idéalisation, mais aussi dans le souci d'une critique sociale et d'un renouvellement des formes littéraires et artistiques. Le concept de performance permet d'interroger les stratégies esthétiques et les facettes dérangeantes des écritures sandiennes, dans leurs rapports au corps, au temps et à l'espace.
